Definitions
- This invention relates to a household electrical steam generator with stabilized boiler water level, particularly for smoothing irons.
- Steam is known to be increasingly used in modern homes, namely for floor, armchair, bath and curtain cleaning, and in particular for ironing.
- Such steam is generally produced in a water container comprising an electrical resistance heater, the heat of which vaporizes the water until temperature sensors (thermostats) or pressure sensors (pressure switches) deactivate it to prevent explosion deriving from excess pressure.
- temperature sensors thermostats
- pressure sensors pressure switches
- This spitting is caused by the reduction or absence, in the boiler, of a free water surface necessary for its vaporization.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a household electrical steam generator able to provide a large steam quantity from a small boiler.
- a further object is to provide a steam generator as the aforesaid, which from the commencement of delivery provides steam without water droplets mixed with it.
- a further object is to provide a steam generator as the aforesaid, which uses particularly precise temperature control devices.
- a further object is to provide a steam generator as the aforesaid, which uses low-cost temperature control devices which are reliable with time.
- a usual reservoir 1 is provided for containing cold water 2 at atmospheric pressure.
- An electrical micro-pump 3 for example of the vibration type, draws cold water from said reservoir 1 through a pipe 4 and feeds it into a boiler 5 through a further pipe 6.
- the boiler is connected to a user appliance 8, for example a smoothing iron, by a pipe comprising a first portion 9A and a second portion 9B, with a manually operated solenoid valve 10 therebetween. Its operation either blocks the steam present in the first portion 9A or enables it to also pass through the second portion 9B, which freely communicates with the exits of the user appliance 8. This takes place not only by manual operation but also automatically by electronic control during the initial preheating stage, to enable the air present in the boiler to be gradually expelled to the outside until a temperature of 95°C is attained within the boiler. What happens during temperature increase can also take place during temperature decrease, in accordance with electronic expedients either of known kind or as specifically indicated on the accompanying circuit example.
- a water level sensor 11 either of the level-switch type, or of the pressure switch type if it senses water presence by hydrostatic pressure.
- Said sensor is substantially an electrical switch which, before the reservoir 1 is completely empty, interrupts the circuit to deactivate the micro-pump 3 and the armoured resistance element 7.
- the micro-pump 3 is controlled by a temperature sensor 12 positioned on the highest region 7A ( Figure 2) of the armoured resistance element 7, so that as soon as this region emerges due to the lowering of the water level 13 in the boiler 5, a significant temperature increase occurs thereat and is sensed by said temperature sensor 12.
- the water quantity which needs to be present in the boiler is very small, because as soon as steam is needed, only that water quantity required to produce it need be fed into the boiler. Consequently the armoured electrical resistance element 7 requires a very short time to convert it into steam.
- said armoured resistance element can be of low rating as the electrical power required to generate said very small steam quantity is small, for example 900 W.
- the "very small steam quantity" is very small compared with the total requirement, so that the electrical resistance element does not have to produce a large steam quantity to be left unused within the boiler while withdrawing only a very small fraction of it, as usually happens, but instead has to produce only that steam effectively used externally.
- the apparatus of the invention also offers the advantage of no "down-times for heating after filling" typical of usual boilers.
- a further advantage of the apparatus is that as a large steam quantity can be continuously produced from a boiler of minimum volume, on the one hand the boiler used can have a smaller wall thickness because of the intrinsic material strength laws, and on the other hand there is a smaller danger of explosion because of the lesser elastic energy expressed by the steam contained in its interior.
- Figures 2 and 3 show one example of an armoured resistance element positioned within the boiler 5.
- an external support structure 12A for the temperature sensor is welded at a contact point 14 to the highest part of the region 7A.
- This weld can be made by brazing or by other usual methods.
- Said external structure 12A consists of a stainless steel tube closed at one end 12B by flattening and welding to prevent water or steam being able to penetrate into said tube.
- a further end 12C is welded to an end 5B of the boiler 5, to which the typical prongs of armoured resistance elements used for such purposes are also welded.
- the temperature sensor 12 With reference to Figure 4 it can be seen that within the said external structure tube 12A, the temperature sensor 12, with its electric cables 15 and 16 welded to its ends 12C and 12D, is positioned within a heat-shrinkable plastic sheath 17. This sheath further insulates the sensor 12 and clamps the various parts together to achieve maximum structural stability, so ensuring their prolonged operation with time.
- the boiler 5 is composed of a metal tube 5C with two endpieces screwed or welded to its two ends. To these endpieces there are fixed the prongs of the armoured resistance element 7 and the external armoured 12A for the sensor.
- the various connectors for connecting the pipe 6 and the pipe 9A ( Figure 1) are also provided on these endpieces.
- a special "floating valve”, shown in Figure 5, consisting of a precision ball 18, rolling within a short horizontal cylindrical conduit 19 bounded by two seal rings 20 and 21 of O-ring type.
- the ball 18 is arranged to be urged against the the seal ring 21 to close an outer hole 22, or be urged against the opposite seal ring 20 to close an inner hole 23, by even a light flow of an aeriform substance.
- Said aeriform substance can be either environmental air or the air expanding within the boiler following activation of the armoured resistance element 7 when it begins to heat the water.
- this level determines delayed heating, with initial spitting of water instead of only steam emission.
- this drawback is eliminated by the said drawing of air in a direction 24 which detaches the ball 18 from the seal ring 21, but without having sufficient energy to urge it to effectively bear against the seal ring 20.
- Sufficient energy is however possessed by a contrary flow 25 generated by the activation of the armoured resistance element 7.
- this resistance element provides a heating rate of the water and of its containing boiler which is much higher than the cooling rate. There is consequently a considerable rate difference between the two flows, this being therefore used to move the ball 18 within the short conduit 19
- a rubber ball 18 can be used which seals against the metal edges of the two conduits 22 and 23. If the ball 18 is sufficiently lightweight, said floating valve could also operate with a vertically arranged conduit 19 and with the externally communicating conduit 23 positioned below it so that the vacuum within the boiler causes said lightweight ball to rise.
- the said pneumatic floating valve could be combined with the anti-explosion safety valve provided on all pressure vessels in which the pressure is heat-created.
- Figure 6 One example of such a combination is shown in Figure 6.
- the floating valve of Figure 5 is itself movable within a cylindrical guide 27, it being maintained at rest against the fixed walls 28 by the action of a compression spring 26.
- a pressure acting in the direction of the flow 24 it is sufficient for a pressure acting in the direction of the flow 24 to create within the floating valve a force greater than that exerted by the spring 26.
- the ball 18 lies against the seal ring 20 to close the hole 23.
- said safety valve is indicated by 30, and the pneumatic floating valve by 31.
- the valve 30 acts to to connect the boiler interior to the external environment when the pressure in the boiler reaches about 4 bar. It is connected by a pipe 32, which returns steam discharged from the boiler into the cold water reservoir 1. In contact with the pipe 32 there is a usual temperature fuse 33 which interrupts electric power to the resistance element 7 when it detects said fault condition by sensing a temperature of about 70°C.
- the temperature sensor 12 is preferably of the NTC-MURATA 100K-VETRO type, with 1% tolerance, the electrical resistance of which varies considerably with temperature. It operates with three resistors R13, R14, R15 connected in series in order to be able to control three temperature levels by three voltages V1, V2, V3 withdrawn as shown in Figure 7.
- the voltage V1, corresponding to a temperature of 95°C controls a TRIAC which maintains the solenoid valve 10 In the ON configuration. When this temperature is exceeded, the solenoid valve is switched to the OFF configuration.
- the voltage V2, corresponding to a temperature of 135°C controls a TRIAC which establishes the ON-OFF conditions required to achieve a boiler operating pressure of about 2 bar.
- the voltage V3 corresponds to a temperature of 136°C, occurring as a result of a reduction in the level 13 of the water present in the boiler 5 such as to cause the highest region 7A of the armoured resistance element 7 to emerge.
- Said voltage V3 hence controls the operation of the micro-pump 3 for a certain ON period which generally lasts only for a few seconds.
- the cold water hence fed into the boiler 5 immediately cools the region 7A, and the sensor support welded to it.
- the solenoid valve 10 is maintained open by the voltage V1, to allow exit from the boiler of the air which expands during initial heating.
- the solenoid valve is controlled by the user by means of a pushbutton (located for example on the smoothing iron), to allow steam to flow from the boiler.
- the reference numeral 34 indicates a second temperature fuse which interrupts the apparatus electrical circuit when an internal boiler temperature of about 170°C occurs. This prevents a boiler internal pressure higher for example than 10 bar being able to arise due to ineffectiveness of other aforesaid safety devices, but nevertheless much less than the pressure which would cause the boiler 5 to explode.
- Figure 8 shows the details of an electronic card appropriate for correct operation of the apparatus.
- the electronic circuit shown consists of a single LM 324 integrated circuit. On the diagram the four operational circuits are indicated by the letters A, B, C, D.
- A, B, C are normally closed whereas D is normally open.
- the circuits A, C, D are controlled by the sensor 12, of known 100 K NTC type, in cascade via three diodes D1, D2, D3 and two resistors R13, R15.
- the circuit B is controlled by the level sensor 11 (for example a magnetic switch). In practice, with varying resistance of the NTC sensor, the following occur:
- a contactor 11 of a level switch is connected to pin 6 of the operational circuit B; when water is present in the reservoir this is normally closed, whereas when this water is insufficient it switches to open mode. In this mode it acts via the diodes D4 and D5 on the circuits A and D, to interrupt them so as not to enable current to reach either the armoured resistance element 7 or the pump 3.
- LEDs Usual light emitting diodes
- Figure 9 shows the variation in the boiler temperature with time, as produced by the described electronic control system. It shows a series of points a, b, c, d, e, f, g expressing the various actions, to which the following temperatures and the following values in ohms of the NTC sensor correspond:
- the micro-pump 3 having indicatively a power of 50 W at 230 V, operates between points d) and e).
- the armoured resistance element 7 is active between the points a) and b); c) and d); f and g). It is inactive between the points b) and c); e) and f).
